For me personally, The best part about your videos, is that you know how to break down abstract things into concrete steps, like we all have goals but we have trouble starting because it’s a little hard to break it down to actionable steps, you give practical advice that helps me out

I personally have always appreciated the way you say Hi in each video. I like the way each of the videos from Visualization, Creativity, Unconscious, Intuition all have some sort of way of relating back to each other, which helps solidify things. I enjoyed that one particular music/ost you would put in the background during your explaining on recent videos. I did take notice on that. And I of course like how the various things you present, breaking the abstract down into concrete, simpler to understand steps. Honestly, keep up the good work! Your content has absolutely been helping me on my Academic journey by leagues on many ways.

For me I always like when you explain the things with easy examples it makes the concept crystal clear.

I first found about this channel from topic streams and found they were INSANELY useful as even on simple problems you were proving things instead of relying on intuition and you showed your thinking process clearly which helped me improve mine. I learned a lot from contest recordings too, for similar reasons. And I keep recommending others both problem solving videos and general ones because they are of very unique type ig. Thanks for all your effort! (I'm purple on cf)

Don't forget to add those jokes to your documentaries. 😁

New sub here and the reason I subbed is that you explain how the brain works and how to improve your mind. Pointing out that we don't have to be super geniuses to work hard and improve our mind was what made me sub. You are an intelligent person and a person would have to be an absolute fool to not see the value in your content. Keep on going bro, you are set to do great things

First reason why I subscribed is you use big words in simple ways, me being a (self proclaimed) avid learner of things when big concepts are broken down into simple terms to me and maybe a lot of other people too, I understand the material better and then start to understand why you said what you said. Simple pictures helps the child in me too, my opinion you need that intact if you want to learn a lot in life!

I'm kinda new, so i didn't watch cp stuff yet, but the general stuff videos were cool. I didn't think they could be improved artificially. Now I'm implementing a couple of habits into my life from your vids. I'm very looking forward for general stuff. It's amazing

Where did you get your confidence from? Does it just come natural to you?

Can you do a video about mindfulness exercises because I heard that these exercises also beneficial for creative thinking and problem solving also it improves cognitive flexibility

Since it's apparently coming up soon, here's (a) plan for 100k: I want to tell the story of this channel, documentary-style.
Here's the lore. My first video that really blew up was a video on my journey in competitive programming. The success of that video inspired many other ones in a similar vein, and eventually my whole channel became focused on more general-style videos rather than the low-effort contest recordings I started my channel on. From there, a lot of changes and learning happened, and now we're here.
To pay a tribute to that journey video, I want to remaster it and talk about my journey on YT. For example, the rich details behind the channel's huge successes/failures, the stuff I learned and incremental changes made to each next video, the general progression toward better and better quality, etc. I will make an entertaining story out of it.
And I want to produce it with the quality and style of a documentary. If you're concerned that I've never worked with this style before, don't be. I will be taking a lot of feedback throughout, and I will also learn the general gist of storytelling and how to make good stuff. I want to make this good, and I'm a fast learner, so look forward to it.
And speaking of feedback, I will need as much help as I can get, particularly gathering opinions on why certain videos behaved the way they did (I can speculate with pretty good accuracy, but ultimately, I am not my target audience, so it would be very valuable information to get from other people) and giving general feedback on incremental versions of the video.
I will post a video about my plans soon. That will include the way to offer said feedback, and will also include more info than just this, so you should watch it even if you've seen this post :)
With all that, as always... what do you think?
